Description from the seller

Superb tin toy. An indigenous person on the back of a large crocodile. Beautiful lithograph with a stunning color combination. Operates by clockwork mechanism and needs to be REVISED!!! In action, the crocodile moves very quickly, with its jaws opening and closing, while the indigenous boy moves by holding onto the rope.


The crocodile was produced starting in 1932, and Gebrüder Einfalt changed the name of his company to Technofix in 1935.
The toy is known as model 208 and in German 'Krokodil mit Buschkind'. It is probably an early version of the shape of the permanent crocodile key.
The toy was also made by Chein (US) in a very similar version, but the one made by Einfalt is the most beautiful.

The toy is in very good condition and measures: 10 cm high - 8.5 cm wide - 38 cm long.

Marked with: « Made in Germany »
